Water Temperature Readings
Submitted by paulbazza on Thu, 2013-02-21 18:51
Just wondering what water temp readings people are getting?
I was 2km off back of Garden Island last week recording 25.2C, palegics jumping out of the water every where.
Recorded same temp in Cockburn Sound while crabbing ( prob why no squid around).
My warmest temp i have recorded in the past 10 years was 23.8C.

Cockburn water temps...
The Water temperatures or Cockburn Sound showing here at work is 25 deg C
It is perhaps 1/2 dec C up on what we heve most years once the heat load is happening.
Sea Surface Temp web site shows a few eddies of hotter water close to Garden Is.

thanks for the replies, and no Beau, didnt catch any , we did call them for Tuna, but was hard to get a 100% ID, would be well worth a trawl behind the island.
